Description Myth

Merrow are maidens of the sea who wear sealskin cloaks which enable them to travel with the ocean's currents. They are physically similar to humans in every way only for the webbing between their fingers and their flat feet. In order to come ashore, the merrow must abandon her cloak. Mortals who find these cloaks have power over the merrow as she cannot return to the sea without it. Men who posses and hide the cloak may therefore persuade the merrow to marry them. Such brides are often extremely wealthy, with fortunes of gold scavenged from shipwrecks. If the merrow ever recovers her cloak her urge to return to the sea would be so strong she would have no qualms leaving her human family behind.
